FireFox 8.0.1 problems.

[anotheoldgit]

I have just upgraded to FireFox 8.0.1 from 4.0.1

I now find I have lost my Google Toolbar so consequently all the sites I regularly visit eg. AnswerBank and most of the popular newspapers have disappeared, so I can no longer press the button and get immediately to those sites.

Is there anything in FireFox 8.0.1 that will allow me to do this again?

Not having the google toolbar. is a good thing! it's a huge resource hog

when you're on a page you want to keep, click on "Bookmarks" at the top of the page, then "Bookmark this page".

To keep them in view at the side of the page, click View, then Sidebar, then tick Bookmarks

Thanks for your answer Chuck, can you please answer a couple of questions?

When I load Firefox with my selected browser web page, the tool bar doesn't show although I have clicked it in 'View' I first have to unclick it and then click it before it appears.

Since I wish to put all the newspaper sites together, and there doesn't appear to be enough room on the menu bar, how can I put them in the most visited icon which is also on that menu bar?

Thank you jno that's pretty good, but it isn't quite the same as the separate buttons on the top.

But it will come in useful all the same.

Try view > toolbars > customise and then clicking the restore default at the bottom...

As for the newspapers etc, you can right click on the bookmarks toolbar and select create folder and then put all the newspaper links in one folder. then click on the folder to show a list of everything in it.

Got it Chuck thanks so much.

Any idea what the 'most visited icon is for?

So far when I click on it it says 'Empty', how do I start to fill it?

Sorry for being such a pest.

It builds up after you visit sites regularly.
Waste of time if you ask me .. I deleted mine.
Make your frequently used sites appear in the Bookmarks Toolbar alongside the Latest News live bookmark, by copying and pasting from other Bookmarks or dragging/dropping.
